Serratia sp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia sp. produces lipodepsipeptides, stephensiolides A-K, that have antibiotic activity and facilitate bacterial surface motility.

Klebsiella sp.

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

Klebsiella sp. leads to the hydrolysis of cellulosic waste into reducing sugars that can be used for bacterial growth.
Cellulose Hydrolysis

Serratia marcescens

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria

A high concentration of Serratia marcescens leads to high mortality in termites.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia can eliminate males, turn them into females, sterilize uninfected females, or behave as a mutualistic symbiont.
Male Killing Feminization

Serratia symbiotica

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Extracellular

Serratia symbiotica infection made aphids more susceptible to most of the tested insecticides than non-infected aphids.

Wolbachia

Pseudomonadota
Bacteria
Intracellular

Wolbachia (wCle) provisions the bed bug with B vitamins, and its titer increases in relation to bed bug growth and development due to this nutritional contribution.
